Truth Amidst Lies: Defining Jesus' LoveSample

Truth Amidst Lies: Defining Jesus' Love

DAY 3 OF 3

Let's take a moment to really soak in the incredible reality of being enveloped in the love of Jesus. I mean, it's more than just a fleeting emotion that comes and goes; it's an unshakable force that surrounds us, something we can lean on no matter what life throws our way. Picture it as a warm, comforting embrace that's constant and unchanging. You know, the kind of embrace that makes you feel safe, valued, and cherished.

Now, here's a mind-blowing thought: Jesus loves us with the same intensity that the Father loves Him. Let that sink in for a moment. The love that flows between the Father and the Son – the love that's eternal, perfect, and beyond our human understanding – that very same love is extended to us. It's a love that knows no limits, no conditions, and no end. Wrap your head around that – the Creator of the universe, the One who holds the stars in place, loves you with an unwavering love. It's not because of anything you've done to earn it; it's simply because you are His creation, His beloved.

And here's the kicker: Jesus invites us to abide in His love. It's like an invitation to take up residence in a place where we are safe, where we are known, and where we are deeply cared for. It's not a fleeting visit or a temporary stay; it's a permanent dwelling. And the beauty is that once we're in that space, nothing – seriously, nothing – can break the bond between us and Him. It's not like those human relationships that sometimes fade or those promises that can be broken. His love is a steadfast anchor, an unbreakable connection that endures through the highs and lows of life. So, my dear friend, embrace this truth and rest assured that you're held in a love that's eternal, unchanging, and stronger than anything you'll ever face.

Truth Amidst Lies:

Lie 1: "I'm going through stuff all alone; Jesus doesn't care."

Truth: Jesus is right there with us, through thick and thin. We're never alone in our struggles. His presence is our constant companion, giving us strength and courage.

Lie 2: "I've drifted so far away, Jesus couldn't possibly love me still."

Truth: No distance can separate us from Jesus' love. He's always waiting with open arms, ready to welcome us back into His embrace. His love isn't conditional on our proximity; it's constant.

Lie 3: "I've got to be perfect to earn Jesus' love."

Truth: Jesus' love isn't something we earn; it's a gift freely given. You don't have to prove yourself or reach a certain standard. He loves you because you're you, and that's enough.

Prayer:

Hey God, your love is like a rock that never gives way. It's a source of stability and comfort in a world that's always changing. I'm holding on to your truths today above all else. Give me the perspective I need to know I can’t earn your love today. Thank you for choosing to love me, and be my friend. Amen
